Above it is a stylized symbolic drawing – an ancient Armenian defensive tower or fortification, indicating the meaning of the name („Arin Berd“ – a historical fortress near Yerevan). Below are inscriptions in Armenian, indicating the manufacturer and the product. Visually, the package resembles a European-type design, but retains strong national symbolism. Minimalism and subtle gold tones create a solid, classic image.
